Abstract
Five deuterium atoms, three in the N‐methyl group and one each in positions 2 and 6, were incorporated into the cholinergic agonist, arecoline (1), methyl 1‐methyl‐1,2,5,6‐tetrahydropyridine‐3‐carboxylate, with 96% efficiency. Trideuterated pyridinium iodide (2) was reduced with sodium borodeuteride or sodium cyanoborodeuteride in acidic medium to yield [^2^H~5~]arecoline (3). Significantly greater deuterium incorporation occurred when 2 was reduced with sodium cyanoborodeuteride. This reduction process is discussed. The synthesized labelled compound was determined to be a suitable internal standard for mass spectrometric assays.
